Yvonne Blackwood

Only a few bankers, including Kenneth Grahame and T. S. Eliot, are authors. Yvonne Blackwood sits with this unique group. She published her first two books while still working full-time. She authored eight books, is an award-winning short story writer, columnist, and world traveller. Blackwood’s published adult books include: Into Africa: A Personal Journey; Will That Be Cash or Cuffs? Into Africa: The Return; College Life of a Retired Senior and her debut novel, The Ambition. Her children's books include: Nosey Charlie Comes to Town, Nosey Charlie Goes to Court, and Nosey Charlie Chokes on A Wiener! Blackwood has also contributed to several anthologies, newspapers, and magazines, including More Our Canada, Adelaide, InTouch, and Green Prints magazines. She enjoys movies and has established a collection of Oscar-winning Best Pictures from the first one in 1927 to 2020 (her movie cabinet ran out of space)!
